I agree with Siu_Ming11. ACCOUNTANTS are always being needed, no matter the economy is good or bad!
The few questions you should ask yourself whether you are suitable for the job is:
(1) Are you that kind of person (attention to DETAILS)?
(2) Are you good with numerals?
(3) Can you sense something WRONG out of a bunch of numerals?
(4) Do you like memorising the LAWS of different countries, and RESPECT them?
(5) Can you live with LONG WORKING HOURS (at least 16 hours a day including holiday, with some occasion you have to do your work overnight without sleep and attend meeting immediately afterwards)?
If your answer is YES to all of the above, then you definitely is a good person and a good accountant.
